ORIGINAL POSTERHi all, thank you for your help. What do we submit for proof of location if applying from Vietnam or another country outside your home country. Do we just show our hotel booking and flights or what? Because obviously our drivers license, utility bill ect wouldn't help. Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa from Vietnam or another country outside your home country, you should submit proof of location such as your hotel booking and the entry stamp in your passport. Utility bills or driver's licenses from your home country would not be applicable.
